I had the pleasure of first seeing this film in a hotel in Torla in northern Spain, which added hugely to the experience. Upon seeing it again (with subtitles this time!) on the plane on the way home I was struck by the simple beauty of both the story and the filmaking. It's a film that's an experience - there's the choice of either closely analysing every moment for it's value, or simply experiencing the film first and analysing one's reactions later. Either way, the film stands up, and it's a powerful experience that I fully recommend.
